Isn't there a GAF thread for teams already in Basketball Offseason? To discuss players who have gone fishing and will soon to be amenestied and retired? Why does this thread continue to be derailed?

Sorry, I wanted to point out Timmy's 2005 finals campaign. It wasn't about whether or not Kobe played well in 04, he didn't...it was about how poorly Duncan actually played.


That 2005 Finals MVP was just given to him because there was no one else, not because he actually played well.


Phee-phee, time for you to snitch.

Because you keep using homophobic language?

Yeah basically everyone sucked, absolutely everyone.

He didn't even fucking play "well".

Hell, when a player shoots and misses, it's never because of the defense. That's the story we can infer from statistics.

How old were you at the time of those Finals?

You know what the difference between Timmy in '05 and Kobe in '04 was? Timmy won.


Meh. Kobe gets a pass because of the court issues. False accusations which threaten your very freedom tend to have an impact on your day to day life.


She had the semen and pubic hair of various different men on her panties the following morning when she was examined.

2005? I was 20
 
Oh so now everyone is coming around to appreciate the undisputed greatest talent to ever live. Kobe Bryant.

Remember NBA will change that logo. Kobe gettin his own wing in the BB hall. Watch.
 
George is turnover heavy and has loose handles. Kawhi can at least make a post entry pass. how many times last series was a lazy pass from PG intercepted for a thunderous Heat run out?

Yeah, let's see Leonard run his team's offense without turning it over like George.

George had no one else besides Hill who could even dribble. That made it difficult.

Gasol should have gotten MVP in 2010...that gives Kobe like 1 legit finals MVP.

Just so we can let this nonsense rest.


2010 Finals Numbers


Kobe - 28.6/8.0/3.9/2.1 steals/0.7 blocks/40.5% FG/32% 3PT/ 88% FT


Gasol -18.6/11.6/3.7/.7 steals/2.6 blocks/47.8% FG/0% 3PT/ 72% FT


There's no objective way Gasol gets that Finals MVP. Especially considering how much better KB held Rondo down than Gasol held KG down.

Eat a Dick seems an awful lot like calling a guy a "fag" to me.

Mike's worst Finals numbers actually happened when they did their 72-10 run.


Dat Glove Defense!


27.3/5.3/4.2/1.7/0.2 on 41.5% FG / 31.6% 3pt / 83.6% FT


That's like your typical Kobe 2008-2010 finals performance too lulz


Edit: Jordan the next year - 32.3 / 7.0 / 6.0 / 1.2 / 0.8 on 45.6/32/76
 
Hey guys you heard about ---

*reads last 4 pages*
This is absurd. Everyone knows the differences but you're wrong on a few points that don't need getting into.


If you don't look at those two box scores, and see the similarly horrible production, that's fine, they look awfully similar to me.

That worked really well when Lebron did it the series before though huh?

Only because Bron used his GOAT court vision, while utilizing his GOAT play-any-position on defense and offense abilities, meshed with his GOAT makes-his-teammates better leadership and unselfishness... while at the same time bettering his best-player-in-world bestmentship.


Kobe simply copied Bron's strategy, ahead of time.

Lulz. By standing in one spot giving Rondo tons of space and being the guy that doubles off Rondo every play. Dat great Rondo defense.

What he did to Rondo is pretty much what Kawai is doing to Lebron. Sag off him, go under the screens. And when he does drive, move your feet and try to stay with him. In fast breaks, spring as hard as you can to get in front of him.


There are some players you don't press up on because you're not scared of their jump shot. Rondo is one of them, and apparently so is Lebron.

This isn't the only way to play great perimeter defense
